info:
  name: Apache Airflow - Unauthenticated Variable Import
  author: pdteam
  severity: critical
  description: Apache Airflow Airflow >=2.0.0 and <2.1.3 does not protect the variable import endpoint which allows unauthenticated users to hit that endpoint to add/modify Airflow variables used in DAGs, potentially resulting in a denial of service, information disclosure or remote code execution.
  remediation: Upgrade to Apache Airflow 2.1.3 or higher.
